Lowered Coil Spring Question
Just completed swapping leafs to coils in my 69' SWB.
Currently, the frame is sitting on the rear axle and I will soon buy 5 or 6 inch lowered coils. Does anyone know what the approximate "compressed" height of a 5 and 6 inch spring is with no weight other than the bed? I just want to cut a block for reference.

Re: Lowered Coil Spring Question
I think that's going to be tough to guage... you might check with ECE, they might have an accurate measurement for you.
